Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge

Displays the engine coolant temperature.
The blue gauge indicates that the engine
coolant temperature is low, and the red
gauge indicates that the engine coolant
temperature is high and overheating.

The engine coolant temperature gauge can
be switched to indicate only the high
engine coolant temperature range by
pressing the panel light control switch.

CAUTION

If the high engine coolant temperature
warning light (red) flashes, there is a
possibility of overheating. Drive slowly to
reduce engine load until you can find a safe
place to stop the vehicle and wait for the
engine to cool down.
Refer to Overheating on page 7-27.

NOTE



The temperature unit (Centigrade/
Fahrenheit) of the engine coolant gauge
display changes in conjunction with the
temperature unit of the outside
temperature display.
Refer to Personalization Features on
page 9-9.



During normal driving, the engine
coolant temperature stabilizes at 100 °C
(210 °F) or less, and the gauge indicates
a range lower than 100 °C (210 °F).

Fuel Gauge

The fuel gauge shows approximately how
much fuel is remaining in the tank when
the ignition is switched ON. We
recommend keeping the tank over 1/4 full.

If the fuel level is low, ( ) and ( ) turn an
amber color. Refuel as soon as possible.
Refer to Taking Action on page 7-40.

NOTE



After refueling, it may require some time
for the indicator to stabilize. In addition,
the indicator may deviate while driving
on a slope or curve since the fuel moves
in the tank.



The display indicating a quarter or less
remaining fuel has more segments to
show the remaining fuel level in greater
detail.



The direction of the arrow ( ) indicates
that the fuel-filler lid is on the left side
of the vehicle.
